Arsenal are competing with Leicester City for Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina.
Tuttosport says the two Premier League clubs have also been joined by Schalke in the battle for Lemina.
Arsenal have posted scouts to view Lemina in action several times over the last few months.
He is under contract with Juve until June 2020 and the club activated its clause to make the move from Marseille permanent in July.
Lemina cost Juventus €10m, but his price-tag has already doubled - at the very least.
